Because the second day was the day when he stayed with the family, he was the busiest, so Jia Lian did not dare to stay at Tiekuan Temple for too long. He returned to Rongguo Mansion before noon to help Sister Feng take care of the internal and external affairs.

In one day, I don’t know how many waves of official guests were welcomed and sent off, and hundreds of cars and sedans came and went, making it very lively.

At night, the only people left were the Ding family, the Shi family, the Wang family, the Xue family, the Lin family and other close relatives. That night, the lights were on and no one could sleep.

For companionship.

Fortunately, Sister Feng was well prepared and hired several groups of opera performers, storytellers, and performers in advance to rehearse performances for the family and friends to relieve their boredom. Otherwise, the long night would have been really unbearable.

At dawn, the auspicious time has arrived, and all those on standby immediately started to move.

A group of 8,864 people in Tsing Yi asked for directions. On the white sail in front of them was a large inscription: "The eldest grandson of the first-class Rongguo Duke of the Great Wei Dynasty, who enjoys a long life and is hereditary and a first-class divine power general, is the coffin of the pardoner."

Afterwards, the butlers, furnishings, amusement games, etc. were all newly made, and the same color was dazzling.

The funeral guests, including those with official titles, all rode in eight-person sedans, including Jia Mu and others, adding up to more than ten people. The rest were unemployed, and there were forty or fifty people who rode in four-person sedans.

By car, the family and close relatives alone would use no less than a hundred vehicles!

With such an area spread out, the coffin-carrying team already occupied a distance of four or five miles.

There were also officials and guests who came to attend the funeral, such as Bo Niu Ji Zong, the first-class son of Zhenguo Gongfu, Liu Fang, the first-class son of Liguo Gongfu, Chen Ruiwen, the hereditary third-rank Weiyuan general of Qiguo Gongfu, Ma Shang, the third-rank Weiyuan general of Zhiguo Gongfu...

…There are also Xining County Prince’s Palace and Nan’an County Prince’s Palace…

Among these ten families, which are among the four founding princes and eight princes along with Jia's family, except for the Duke Tuiguo's family who is also doing funerals, the rest are all headed by family members themselves.

In addition, there are Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, Jiang Zining, the hereditary second-class male grandson of Pingyuan Marquis, Xie Jing, the hereditary second-class male of Dingcheng Marquis who also serves as the guerrilla general of the Beijing camp, Xiangyang Houfu, Jingtian Houfu, Shoushan Bofu, Shenwu General Mansion, and Jinxiang.

Hou Mansion...

Waiting for a series of people with official titles in the capital, the number of carriages, horses and people who came was even more numerous.

They all set up colorful tents, set up banquets and played music on the funeral road in Rongguofu to pay homage to the souls of the deceased. This was a road sacrifice.

The first is the sacrificial shed of Dongping County Prince's Mansion, the second is the sacrificial shed of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, the third is the sacrificial shed of Xining County Prince's Mansion, and the fourth is the Beijing County Prince's Mansion...

Among the four princes' palaces, the first three are okay and have been reduced to the rank of Gongqing family. Only the Beijing palace. At the beginning of the founding of the country, among the four princes and eight princes, Beijing had the greatest contribution and the most respected status, so it is now the fifth.

Generations, descendants still attack the king!

There are only a handful of fifth-generation princes, even among the royal family of the Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Beijing Palace is the first family with different surnames in the world.

Although the current King Shuirong of Beijing is not as young as the weak crown, he is gentle in temperament, possessing both political integrity and talent. He is highly valued by today's saints and is now ranked in the imperial class.

Therefore, if we say that Jia Lian was born in a noble family and was already in the fourth rank of officialdom at a young age, he was a rare and promising young man in the country. However, compared with the Prince of Shui County, there is still no comparison at all.

The other party was far superior to Jia Lian in terms of birth, title or official status.

What's more, the other party is one or two years younger than Jia Lian...

These are all fine. Jia Lian himself does not want to compare with others. After all, reincarnation is really a technical job. There is only better, not the best.

If your family background is no match, no matter how hard you struggle, it will be in vain.

What made Jia Lian most angry was that on the third day after Jia She delivered the obituary, Shui Rong came to pay his respects in person. On that day, Jia's house received him with the most solemn attitude. At that time, Jia Lian discovered that the other party was not even inferior in appearance.

he……

Even whiter than him!

After that day, Jia Lian decided that he would work harder and practice martial arts vigorously from now on.

Because he found that the water-solubility condition was abnormally good in all aspects, but he was just like Jia Baoyu, a weak chicken.

Huh, what's the use of being a pretty boy? It might be over in three minutes. So, only a strong and handsome man can walk through the thousands of flowers in the world...

Young Shui Rong ascended the throne, but he was not arrogant, extravagant or arrogant.

Thinking of the friendship between his ancestors and the ancestors of the Jia family who shared life and death through thick and thin, he attached great importance to the exchanges between the two families.

Not only did Jia She pay a visit to the funeral in person that day when the mourning ceremony was held, but today he also personally brought officials from the royal family to deliver the sacrifices.

For a moment, I saw the grand funeral of the Jia Mansion, coming like a mountain of silver on the ground. The messengers of the Rongguo Mansion had already seen the water-soluble Wang Jia, and quickly flew back to see Jia Lian, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others.

Know.

Jia Lian and the other two people did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered the funeral procession to station where they were, and then went forward to greet him in person, paying homage to the state.

Shui Xun didn't take it seriously. After answering the salute with a smile, he walked out of the sedan chair, exchanged a few words with Jia Lian and the others, and then ordered the chief official to pay homage to him.

After the laying ceremony, Shui Rong was not in a hurry to get off the road. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Jia Lian and chatted.

"Last time I got together with Brother Shi, Xiao Wang was deeply impressed by Brother Shi's elegance and insight. Unfortunately, the timing was not right and he only had time to be rough for a while.

After returning home, Xiao Wang thought carefully about Brother's unique views on all things in the world and the laws of heaven and earth, and was greatly inspired. He wanted to invite Brother to my private residence several times, where we could make tea, talk about Taoism, and talk about our feelings.

However, I think about my brother's family affairs being complicated, so I don't dare to disturb him."

When Shui Rong said this, both Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen were stunned.

As Shui Rong, even if you feel like old friends with Jia Lian at first sight, don't keep your attitude so low.

Moreover, last time Shui Rong came to express his condolences to Jia She, the two of them were together. Although Shui Rong talked to Jia Lian about some topics that they were not very interested in, it was not like the two of them were so close.

Is it true that they are old and cannot understand the world of young people?

Jia Lian himself was a little surprised, but he didn't care much.

He knew that he had only met Shui Rong once. Maybe it was because he was a semi-marginal figure in the Jia family in the past, doing nothing all day long. Shui Rong, on the other hand, was younger than him and had just inherited the throne two years ago.

So they had no chance to meet before.

But before we met last time, we must have heard about each other.

As for what Shui Rong said, his elegance and insight were probably due to the fact that the last time he received him, some topics such as astronomy and geography were accidentally mentioned during the chat. Perhaps he inadvertently missed a few points that he brought from later generations.

It’s a “scientific point of view”, so Shui Rong feels refreshed and gains something.

But Jia Lian is well aware of the ignorance and ignorance of people in this era regarding these unknown and unsolved things. He does not think that he can win over people in high positions like Shui Rong by offering some unique opinions!

Shui Rong behaves like this, perhaps mainly because of his own modesty, or because he sees him as a somewhat capable person, so he wants to make friends with him.

Just like when he made friends with Gu Danfeng, the young master of the Gu family, most of the people who reach their status usually make friends at lower levels, because only those with a lower status than him can be easily used for his own purposes.

So, Jia Lian, who thought he had seen through Shui Rong's tricks, didn't take it seriously in his heart, but still showed a cooperative expression on his face, and bowed to Shui Rong: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I have average intelligence and only some vulgar knowledge. Last time

It is Meng Lang's behavior to speak wantonly in front of the prince, and he is deeply afraid that he will offend the prince's respect.

Therefore, I really do not deserve such praise from the prince."

When Shui Rong heard that Jia Lian did not respect his previous confession and still called himself one minister after another, he knew that Jia Lian was still wary of him.

He can understand Jia Lian's caution, and therefore thinks more highly of Jia Lian.

It's just a little regretful.

I didn't pay much attention to it. A scene like today was not the place to make friends.

So he took out a piece of green jade that was golden and translucent, shining with precious light. He held it in one hand and said:

"We met in a hurry last month and did not prepare a token to express our first meeting. I am deeply sorry. Today I will give this gift to my brother, please do not refuse."

When Jia Lian heard this, he frowned subconsciously and thought to himself, shouldn't this plot be triggered by facing Jia Baoyu?

He doesn't like playing with boys.

Besides, he didn't like things like jade toys. Every time he got one, he would probably give it away or resell it.

Otherwise, with so many jades and antiques in Jia She's study, he wouldn't have just asked Sister Feng to pick a few that she liked to keep, and would have asked Sun Zairen to take them all out and cash them in immediately...

"This jade comes from a gemstone from the Western Regions. I got it by chance, so I ordered the skilled craftsmen in my house to cut and carve it.

To be honest, I hit it off with my brother-in-law immediately, so I would like to ask my brother-in-law to come to Humble House Guanghui Guanghui often when he has free time.

I have already told the concierge of my residence that in the future, whenever Brother Shi comes to my residence with this jade, he does not need to be informed and comes directly to me."

Shui Rong said with a smile and handed a thick jade pendant one-third of the size of a palm to Jia Lian's face.

Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen were even more embarrassed and didn't dare to speak. They didn't know what magic power Jia Lian had that made Shui Rong value him so much.

Listening to what he meant, doesn't it mean that if you take this jade pendant, you can enter the Beijing Prince's Palace at will in the future?

Jia Lian also hurriedly bowed down and said: "This thing is too valuable. I am ashamed that I dare not accept it. I would like to ask the prince to take it back..."

Jia Lian is also a little confused about the meaning of water solution. If it is just polite, there is no need for him to be so thorough. Jia Lian believes that for another person, as long as he grew up in this feudal society and received the education of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, he will be

Shui Rong treats him like this, I'm afraid he has become determined to die for his confidant...

Shui Rong seemed to have known that Jia Lian would refuse. After waiting for his reply, he immediately said: "I know that Brother Shi is not a common person, so naturally he does not care about common things. This small thing is just a small token of our friendship.

If Brother Shi refuses to accept it, I'm afraid he is dissatisfied with Xiao Wang's meager salary."

Shui Rong said that for this reason, if Jia Lian didn't pick up the call, he would be suspected of being in trouble with Shui Rong.

So Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng next to them kept winking at Jia Lian anxiously.

Jia Lian had no choice but to bow deeply and said, "Respect is worse than obeying orders. Since the prince said so, I will accept it respectfully."

With that said, he took the jade pendant from Shui Rong's hand.

As soon as he got it, Jia Lian knew that this was indeed a top-quality jade article. Looking at its transparent material, even Jia Lian knew that it was worth a lot of money.
